## Overview
Additional information lets you give learners extra context or instructions about a step's content — what to focus on, how to approach it, or what to do once they've finished. It's written in a rich-text editor and shown alongside the step.

## Add additional information
1. Open your Pathway in the builder and hover over the step in the left steps panel.
2. Click the **cog** icon to open the step's settings panel.
3. Scroll to **Additional Information** and click **Add additional information**.
4. Write your notes or instructions in the editor that opens.
5. Click **Save**.

*"Use additional information to provide further details or instructions to your learnings on the content within this learning step."*

## Edit or view later
Once you've added information, the button changes to **View additional information** — click it to reopen the editor and make changes. Steps that carry additional information show a small info icon in the steps list.

## Things to keep in mind
* Additional information is available on content-type steps. It isn't offered for sections, Text steps, Form steps or embedded-Pathway steps. (A **Text** step is itself free-form content, so write your instructions directly in it.)
* Your notes save when you click **Save** in the editor; closing with **Cancel** discards unsaved changes.
* Changing a step's settings returns a published Pathway to a draft (unpublished) state, so publish again once you're done.

## FAQs
**Where do learners see this?**
It's shown with the step's content, giving learners your extra context or instructions as they work through it.

**Why don't I see the option on some steps?**
Additional information isn't available on sections, Text steps, Form steps or embedded-Pathway steps. For a Text step, write the details straight into the step instead.

**Can I format the text?**
Yes. It's a rich-text editor, so you can format your instructions.

## Who can do this
**Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **Content Managers** and **Instructors** can add additional information to a step. **People Managers**, **Employees**, **Members**, **Volunteers** and **Restricted** users have read-only access to Pathways and cannot.
